  • Publication number: 20150228043
    Abstract: Methods, systems, computer storage media, and graphical user interfaces for population health management are disclosed. The population health management system may allow for cross-continuum tracking and subsequent interactions with transactional systems, providers, and/or patients. The population health management system may include utilizing clinically relevant algorithms to populate registries to enable healthcare providers to better facilitate care for a population of patients. The population health management system may consolidate and provide comprehensive condition-specific and/or patient situation specific information that is accessible and updatable across venues. The population health management system may create cross venue antibiograms based on medications information and susceptibility results which can be filtered for selected demographics.

  • Publication number: 20140310012
    Abstract: Systems, methods, computer-readable media, and graphical user interfaces for centralizing protocol guidance and documentation for a healthcare event are provided. In embodiments, protocols corresponding to healthcare events are received. Upon determining a particular healthcare event has occurred for a patient, a clinician is prompted to perform an action in accordance with the protocol. Information associated with the patient is received and, based on the information, a next action is selected. The clinician is prompted to perform the next action. In embodiments, an inventory of items used for the protocol is maintained and compared against a stock of items to determine when the stock of items needs to be restocked.

  • Publication number: 20140200915
    Abstract: Readmission risks of patients admitted to a healthcare facility are determined using a generic readmission risk algorithm. The readmission risk assessment of patients may be based on portions of a patient's profile and may be performed before, during, and after their index admission. Based on the readmission risk assessment of patients, those patients that are at a greater risk for readmission may be identified. A readmission prevention worklist may be provided that identifies those patients and facilitates managing the risk of readmission for those patients.
